Zhang Jike - Built For Table Tennis

[@Top8TT]

Hi my friends, it`s been a while since I upload my last video. 10K Milestone is near and I was working on my new channel logo and website top8tt.com/ to mark this milestone. For now website (it is work in progress) contains only a videos from youtube channel. You are welcome to checkout, leave a comment and give me a suggestion what are you think or what you want to see on website. I have couple of ideas and I will working on that. I want to thank you all for your support. Zhang Jike 10 minutes special.

[@drdre5286]

omg, the idea of website is so cool

[@BIGBEART8]

Hi! Love your videos! I think you meant Built* for Table Tennis right?

[@Top8TT]

Yes, thank you for correction. Enjoy!

[@Top8TT]

Thank you Christian Adrian Aniceta, I will report him, I can not believe that someone can steal hole video and put it on his channel. I can understand some part, but hole video...that is wrong.

Can I request a compilation of dishonest players about edge points? like Kenta vs Liang Jingkun?

[@linzhg78]

This man has taken the table tennis to another level.

[@aerotus888]

Most powerful and athletic player ever!! He's like the Bruce Lee of TT.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

Most powerful is Wang Liqin and it's not even close.

[@gdounito]

​@@dickn.ormous1064wang liqin? Not in a million. Zhang jike probably the most explosive player ever his shots were extremely spinny and with h good speed, fan zhendong also very powerful but not so much spin, ma lin was also more power than wang liqin. WLQ was more about spin and clever placement of the shots

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@gdounito Explosiveness and power are different attributes.Zhang Jike was explosive but not really powerful which is why he strained his body and didn't last more than 5 years. WLQ was the only really tall Chinese player,his nickname among the Chinese team was literally ''Power". Ma Lin wasn't powerful at all,just fast close to the table. When forced to middle distance his posture and stroke formation was very deformed. Check WLQ's 2006 WTTC match against Boll.He hits clear winners way behind the table from very difficult positions which is the real definition of power. The only players who could ever match WLQ in power were a few Europeans like Kreanga and Persson in his prime and a bunch of Korean penholders,otherwise he is really incomparable to other Chinese players many of them having fitness issues and often in yo-yo diets like Ma Lin and Fan Zhendong.

[@musiclove8851]

[@rafaelbarboza6293]

Among shakehand players, i'd give liu guozheng that title. Never seen before and after such a forehand (okay, he lacked a lot in other areas, such as defensive skills and constancy). Kim Taek Soo was out of this world either. But in the end, as always, its hard to compare players of different eras.

[@Hao_1]

Just a legend by all means. Extreme backhand skills and filled with drive. When he's on form he is unstoppable. Again good video.

[@Fontsman]

Zhang was a brilliant and dynamic player. His leg development and core were second to none. This gave him enormous power. Such a shame that he suffered later in his career from lower back problems, which really compromised his movement.

ONE OF THE BEST PUREST AND TRUEST DRAGONS OF TABLE TENNIS EVER !!!

[@paarthsaxena2724]

did anyone notice that at 0:15 Zhang Jike switches from black rubber to the red one? I think the reason is that the black side is a Chinese tacky rubber so he uses it for looping and the red rubber is a tenergy or some other which is tensioned , so he uses the red rubber for smashing and for his backhand and the Chinese one for looping .

Why He is not in top 5 or top 10 or top 20???

[@epic1053]

@@javydones1739 zhange jike is basically retired at this point , even though he is only 31, many Chinese table tennis players peak early (22-28) due to how harsh the training within the national team is, plus there is always skilled youngsters ready to take their place the moment their performance begins to dip. Zhange jike used to be ranked number 1 in the world for some time and won the olympics and world championships twice, currently he is tied with Ma long as having the most world titles in the history of the sport, so there is a good argument for him being the best.

Jike is the best table tennis player of all time. His skills are in a different level among others. Everything about table tennis is just easy for him. Do not say someone like ma long can beat Jike or what. Nobody can reach Jike in his prime. In addition, Jike was born with a waist injury. If he didn't have this kind of problems, he would have dominated the table tennis field for over 8 years

[@keithlintt]

dafaq? even when jike's i his prime his odds against ma long were not good. He won ma long in one wtttc and one chinese trials that's about it. All other games he lost. Ma long's the one that's immortal; despite being the same age ma long age a lot better in TT.

Thanks for the information, Ludo. I would have suggested that the forehand is faster (as it is most of the times with players I know).

[@ludogiv8420]

FelixSchlegelMusic The forehand loop is naturally faster because the player use the entire body so a tacky rubber is favored. On the backhand a faster rubber helps to increase the speed because the movement amplitude ain't very large

[@ludogiv8420]
